I was asked to make an Alice in Wonderland themed jewelry box, but more along the lines of John Tenniel's drawings and Burton's film than Disney's adaptation. It's made out of maple with green burl details. To make it more delicate and feminine, the sides are curved and radiused. The top is embossed pewter with the tea party scene. The painted tendrils on the front and back lend a playful sense of whimsy, contrasting with the stark black and red stripes and hearts on the ends. The interior is lined with blue velvet. This represents a true collaboration between Mouse and myself;
she did the metal top and painted.
